25 Inspirational Yoga Quotes to share with your audience & students online
25 Inspirational quotes about yoga, (for yoga teachers). to share on their social media.
Do you love browsing online for inspirational quotes for your social media feeds? Love to collect poems to read during your yoga classes?
I do. I find quotes about yoga to be so calming and grounding…especially in a world of noise, scrolling silly reels and basically utter nonsense online.
AND, did you know, when we’re lacking the inspiration and motivation to practice yoga, or even get a little burnt and unmotivated to teach, reading quotes about the practice and the philosophies, may provide us with a quick and timely burst of wisdom to get our focus back?
Does this really work? How could reading quotes about yoga motivate us to get back to teaching with enthusiasm in our home or community studio?
3 ways quotes may motivate us as yoga teachers:
Inspiration and Motivation: Yoga quotes often encapsulate the wisdom and teachings of yoga masters. These words can inspire and motivate us to continue our yoga practice and classes. They can remind us of the benefits of yoga and encourage us to get back on the mat ourselves, and back in the studio teaching.
Mindfulness and Focus: Reading yoga quotes can help bring our minds into a state of focus and mindfulness, which is a key aspect of yoga. They may help us get back to concentrating on our breath, posture, and the present moment, enhancing our yoga practice.
Understanding and Insight: Yoga quotes can provide insight into the philosophy and principles of yoga. They may re-inspire us to get back to the foundations of the deeper meanings and purposes of yoga beyond the physical postures, such as self-awareness, inner peace, and connection with the universe. Therefore we can share more with our students.
